Bare Metal Servers

Raw performance at your fingertips.

SoftLayer bare metal servers provide the raw horsepower you demand for your processor-intensive and disk I/O-intensive workloads. These servers come with the most complete package of standard features and services.

Configure your server to your exact specifications via our portal or API and deploy in real time to any SoftLayer data center—other cloud servers dream of this kind of speed, power, and flexibility.

Powerful

Choose from entry-level single proc servers to quad proc, hex-core, and even GPU-powered workhorses.

Local Disk

Whether you’ve got a need for SSD speed or requirements for massive local disk volume, you have the option to add and upgrade the hard drives in your bare metal server.

SATA Hard Drives

SATA II hard drives include a 3.0Gb/s interface with 8MB of cache and rotation speed of 7,200RPMs, and use NCQ for enhanced performance. SATA III drives include a 6.0Gb/s interface with 64MB of cache. SATA drives are best suited for web, mail, or high-capacity storage servers.

Intel® Trusted Execution Technology

Add an additional layer of security with Intel® TXT, and build a solid foundation for a secure infrastructure. Available on specific bare metal servers, this technology ensures systems start up in a known good state.

Additional Server Options

In addition to standard hardware configuration options, we offer a several premium server options on monthly bare metal servers for your most demanding workloads. Supercharge your compute-intensive application with GPUs, maximize your storage volume with more than a dozen hard drives, or cut down on inter-server latency by provisioning your servers in the same physical rack. You want it; we've got it.

Dedicated Rack

Physically locate multiple servers in the same physical rack. Data transfer between servers in a dedicated rack environment is almost instantaneous, so you can minimize your inter-server network latency.

Included Features and Services

All bare metal servers come with a comprehensive set of features and services. With these features included at no additional cost, you can accelerate deployment and optimize your total cost of operations.
